cool!!......now i want to see this so badly....especially since Vicki Zhao Wei and Takeshi Kaneshiro is in it!! I think they did a good job on the casting as well

[ngpossible]

waaait....i don't know what tekken is...is this some anime-ish kinda movie or something? like final fantasy? vicky looks nice in reality and 3D...nice! wow...her and takeshi? this will be interesting...

[cookie---crumbs]

Vicki and Takeshi are hot. I won't mind watching this movie for them even though the movie doesn't look appealing to me.

Takeshi Kaneshiro...cant wait to see him in the movie! Hope its going to be a big hit. What language would it be in? Mandarin?

[jianlunxd]

oh wow are u kiddin me???

this is soo exxciting. i wanna see this movie.
haha i would of chose no one else besides Takeshi Kaneshiro for jin. he looks just like him.

[jsleepoverc]

I remember my friend telling me they were gonna make a Tekken movie a few years ago, forgot about it till now. I love playing the game, not so much anymore now but after seeing the cast I think I start to play again and I cant wait till this movie come out! Hopefully not too long.

[Sammi_2nite]

OMG, i can't wait this must be a great movie, i luv the game and now theres a movie how kool is dat!!

[Steve120]

I'm itching to see this more then a trip to Japan with a million US dollars. The fact that the cast is varied makes it pretty interesting, plus the Tekken storyline was decent for a fighting game.

[Kon]

how damn kool lol the actors/actresses look alike in a way lol hehe
anyone noe when this is coming out?

[azertyman93]

if its true it should be a great movie and the cast its so perfect but just hope it isnt a fake like the cast for dbz with arnold swarzenegger,cameron diaz ....

[acklam]

i'm not a big fan of tekken but they chose some actors that really do look like the characters! looks like a good watch already!

[LordKenny]

I think it's kinda lame. but seeing Takeshi Kaneshiro starring as Jin, i wonder why don't they make a "Onimusha" movie obviously starring him. And yes, Fann wong is from china whom is a star in Singapore, the celebs gallery probably wrongly placed her in the Female Taiwanese section

Fann is from Singapore, not from China... But she is quite actively involved in China productions these few years.

[bitcomet79]

the casting is quite good and suitable as each actor and actresses almost look alike the characters that they will act as.......seems like more 3D games are beginning to turn into movies lately

[MRDragon]

i've always been a fan of the tekken game series..but bringing it to live action? ionno..this might be good or this will bring down the tekken name for me...if it really does turn out good then thats great.

[alf]

OMG FANN WONG !!!!!!! she's so pretty but that wasnt a nice picture. argh...cant wait to watch this....... is this confirmed yet?

does anybody have any idea of when this movie is coming out? because i'm really looking forward to this movie, it looks so cool .

omg TEKKEN ! movie!!!
i never knew they were even going to make one!

omg this film is gonna rock! thanks for the pics

[litoxpat]

Wow looked like they picked a great cast to star as the charecters from the game since the pics chosen to compare them to the charecter looks so similar. and Takeshi is so hot where has he been since house of flying daggers T_T.....cant wait to see the movie....

[fatez]

Interesting I hope this movie turns out better then the tekken anime they had a long while back. They seem to be a little short on the characters too wonder if they more to the cast later, although it seems pretty diverse already rite now.

[~janet~]

wow, cool. whats tekken about? is it a game or an anime or something? it looks really good! and vivki zhao and takeshi kaneshiro will be in it which is a plus!

[KenSG1527]

I wonder who's going to be Lei in the movie, I hope that whould be Jackie Chan since they both look alike but I doubt it would be him.

[echizen82]

Wow it is great casting and I think the actors and actresses do have some resemblance of the Tekken characters. Tekken is a video game series mostly played on playstation consoles and it has been a very popular game among video gamers. LOL Anyways, I think it should be a great movie and hope we get more info on who will play the other characters.

[swt8a8ykiss3s]

i was never a fan of Tekken mainly because I suck at playing it. However I like to watch all my guy firends play because they can do really kool combos. I can't wait to watch this! I love Vicki and Takeshi!!!! When will they start filming it? and who is the director?

[Mahamoti]

wow! the cast really looks like the anime characters' looks. the director really did a great job finding the cast. what will this movie be about, either than fighting?

[silvermoony2k5]

Nice movie, based on a game. But I think it is Liu Chia Hui and not Chia Hui Liu for the guy that is playing Wang Jin Rei

[Special Ed]

I am utterly amazed that they managed to find all these stars who almost resemble the game characters themselves! Wow! Finally! Vicki finally agrees to another action movie! Hell yea! And Takeshi! I love him! Woo hoo!! Such a great cast!! I hope they release this in the US since I think it is being directed by an american man.

GO VICKI AND TAKESHI!!!!!!

[onting]

lol awesome!!!!!! i never even thought of them makin a tekken movie..i can only think of mortal combat..i wonder where craig and brian came from?

there should be more charcters to tekken and how would the story be from the beginning. they probably just had some of the cast for these characters

[mzdeviL]

When will they start filming it? and who is the director?

Not sure when it will start filming...and the director is Charles Stone; I think he is an hollywood director

what will this movie be about, either than fighting?

No info as yet, only the casts have been revealed.

[Anniki]

urghhh NO!! this smells like another version of the american movie of "street fighter", just say NO takeshi .. that's totally not the road to hollywood yo wanna take

[Guest_kiwijuicepanda_*]

The cast seriously really suit the characters' looks! I hope everyone confirms the movie cause i really wanna see it

[takeshi lover]

ahh NO not Takeshi and Vicky Zhao! She doesn't deserve him!!! ..i hope they don't hook up in the movie. i have a bad gut feeling of this movie.

[_Snowie_]

will this be a international movie?? i only know 3 of the casts...but it's great to see takeshi kaneshiro in a movie

[k5lvin]

whoa sick!!!..i love tekken the game and now there is a movie too...imma watch it as soon a.s.a.p...vicki, takeshi and chia hui liu are gonna be so cool...chia hui liu should be the mentor and guide takeshi through battles and he should be one funny character...hope this movie will be worth to watch...

Interesting how they didn't cast any HK/Canto folks for the main roles. I loved this game as a kid, so I hope that they do it justice and don't mush it all up with romance and crap or other distracting sub-plots.

The language issue will also be interesting. If it's dubbed, that's just plain hard to watch. If anything, I hope they dub the foreign language parts.

[Genuine]

so its confirmed its going to be a movie? haha this is so cool! can't wait until it comes out! i love the game!

[mzdeviL]

urghhh NO!! this smells like another version of the american movie of "street fighter", just say NO takeshi    .. that's totally not the road to hollywood yo wanna take

We don't know that yet...there is no other official info on this movie as yet, just the casts.

ahh NO not Takeshi and Vicky Zhao!  She doesn't deserve him!!! ..i hope they don't hook up in the movie. i have a bad gut feeling of this movie.

Please do NOT insult or curse in here please, Vicki fans will be offended by ur comments. Besides, we don't know if they both will be paired up or not

I don't think HK actors will suit the casts If this is going to be a hollywood production, very likely that they are gonna dub Vicki's part and any other casts who will not be speaking english in this movie
